Glenn Beck's Fox News show to end

Beck will shift his focus to develop other TV projects in conjunction with his Mercury Radio Arts production company to air on Fox News and its digital platforms, according to a statement from the channel.

"Glenn Beck is a powerful communicator, a creative entrepreneur and a true success by anybody's standards. I look forward to continuing to work with him," said Roger Ailes, Chairman and CEO of Fox News.

Beck praised Ailes and Fox News in a statement, saying, "I truly believe that America owes a lot to Roger Ailes and Fox News. I cannot repay Roger for the lessons I've learned and will continue to learn from him and I look forward to starting this new phase of our partnership."

Joel Cheatwood, SVP/Development at Fox News, has announced plans to join Mercury Radio Arts and manage the new partnership between Beck and Fox.

Beck's show was the third highest-rated program on cable news. He also hosts a daily radio show on a Fox and News Corp affiliate station.
